Adonis Musati Project: Encourage, Equip, Empower: Creating Safe Spaces Led-by Refugee and Migrant Women in South Africa
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 50,000 to Adonis Musati Project for work in South Africa, dated 28 March 2018.
Overview
Refugees and asylum seekers are amongst the most vulnerable populations in South Africa. Between 50% and 70% report experiencing sexual or gender-based violence in their countries of origin, in transit, or after entering South Africa. This can leave them deeply traumatised. For many, the impact of violence is perpetuated by lack of legal status in South Africa. This project will provide peer support and counselling for refugee women and girls, and do youth leadership training. As a result of the project, refugee women and girls and asylum seekers will be able to overcome the trauma of violence, access services, and integrate more successfully.
